Related: About this forumUS News lies about young women and Anthony Weiner
So, I saw this headline at USNews:
Poll: 78 Percent of Young Women Approve of Weiner
Wait, what? So Anthony Weiner's conduct hasn't been problematic in how he treated women, and that it really is just a bunch of old sex police who object?
Well, let's dig into the poll's internals.
Sugar daddy dating website SeekingArrangement.com found that 78 percent of female clients aged 18-26 approve of Weiner.
The website, which connects wealthy patrons with attractive clients, surveyed over 18,000 of its female members and discovered that 63 percent of all women surveyed approved of the New York City mayoral hopeful, with the highest approval ratings coming from the 18-26 demographic.

Yeah, maybe something wrong with that sample . . . .

And in GD someone posted a thread about this and couldn't reply fast enough to people calling him out on it asking why they weren't discussing "the issues" that Weiner is so progressive on.

Who knows if those were even women voting.
